The men's Hoka One One Stinson B EVO Running Shoe has a maximally cushioned midsole which offers superior protection, comfort and propulsion. The distinctive rockered geometry of Hoka shoes creates a platform for optimally efficient natural running mechanics. The oversized outsoles- which have twice the surface area of typical running shoes- provide for maximum stability, traction and connection to the ground.

These are supposed to be a hybrid for road and trail running. I have mostly used these on the roads while training for Ironman, got about 500 miles out of a pair. They were great. I am just starting to use my second pair on the trails and have mostly only used them on dry trails so far, so I haven't yet decided if the lugs are deep enough for wet winter trail running in the Northwest.

I have read so many positive reviews on the Hokas that I had to try them for myself. I will admit I was unsure of the looks of the shoe and was concerned about the extra material added. Let me say that I have been shocked at how great these shoes are! They are comfortable and light and I found my run times actually faster at 7 minute ando sub 7 minute miles on the road. I recently did a 10 mile trail run with 3500 feet of vertical gain and the only problem I had was on the descent when I rolled my left ankle.....I think I did not get the laces tight enough?
